Re: st: Sort order in graph box, over() by()

Is there a way to individually sort the order of boxes
in a given subgraph as produced by the by() option in
e.g. -graph box yvar, over(xvar, sort(1)) by(anothergroup)-?
The problem is that missing categories on a given subgrouping
of by() get put on the far right most side of the subgraph;
I want them all in the same position in each subgraph.

Scott and Nick had suggestions. But I believe that Stefan
wanted to use the original "natural" sequence of categories.
Here is a simple modification of Scott's suggestion:
sysuse auto, clear
set obs 76
replace foreign = 1 in 75/76
replace rep78 = 1 in 75
replace rep78 = 2 in 76
graph box mpg, over(rep78, sort(rep78)) by(foreign)
